Cost Effectiveness Of Sunitinib In Central America And Caribbean

April 17, 2012 updated by: Pfizer

Cost Effectiveness Of Sunitinib Vs IFN-Alfa Or Bevacizumab + IFN-Alfa As First-Line Treatment In MRCC In Central America And The Caribbean

Primary Hypothesis: The therapy with Sunitinib represents better cost-effectiveness than IFN-α in first-line treatment for metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC) in Central America and Caribbean countries

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study was terminated on 03Feb2011 due to the fact that the anticipated number of patients expected was not reached. The date of cessation of the drug was January 27, 2011. There was no intervention in the treatment or administration of the drug; the study only observed the treatment and collected data. As the study was dependent on the arrival of new patients with metastatic renal cancer, which was of a very low incidence, the study was terminated. Efficacy, adverse events or other safety issues were not factors in terminating the study. Lack of patients was the only reason.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adult men and women with mRCC will be evaluated for entering the study. The decision to use Sunitinib, IFN-α or Bevacizumab + IFN must be a joint decision made by the subject and the investigator. The investigator must discuss product information with the subject as per usual practice.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of a personally signed (or legally acceptable representative) and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject (or a legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
  • Adult (18 years old or older) men and women with confirmed diagnosis of mRCC treated with Sutent, IFN-α or Bevacizumab + IFN ; on the selected institutions.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Adult men or women with RCCm treated with any other medication that is not Sutent, IFN-α or Bevacizumab + IFN.
  • Adult men or women with mRCC with palliative care.
  • Adult men or women with RCC without metastasis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Rate of patients that present metastasis when consulting for first time
Time Frame: 9 months
9 months
Rate of use of Sutent, IFN-α and Bevacizumab + IFN-α as first-line treatment
Time Frame: 9 months
9 months
Hospitalization average with Sutent, with IFN-α, and with Bevacizumab + IFN-α
Time Frame: 9 months
9 months
Rate of success in first-line treatment with Sutent, in first-line treatment with IFN-α and in first-line treatment with Bevacizumab + IFN-α
Time Frame: 9 months
9 months
Average number of cycles of Sutent, IFN-α and Bevacizumab + IFN in first-line treatment
Time Frame: 9 months
9 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Percentage of adverse effects with the use of Sunitinib, IFN-α and Bevacizumab + IFN
Time Frame: 9 months
9 months
Quality of life in patients using an approved quality questionnaire

QALYs (quality adjusted life years) with each treatment
Time Frame: 9 months
9 months

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
